This month we have been all about the strong flavours but healthy choices. Glorious Skinnylicious Texan Four Bean Chilli is just up our street - Hearty and chunky full of beans, full of flavour and spice, yet low in fat (under 2% per ...
Easy Valentine’s Chocolate Cake
I would appear I'm turning all romantic. I had an urge to bake Mr C a chocolate cake earlier in the week and thought I may as well make it into a Valentine's cake while I was there. I've been having a potter through my cake tins and ...
The Classic Victoria Sponge
This is one of the best cakes we've ever had in our kitchen. This week's #Bakeoftheweek was supposed to be a super Valentine's Chocolate Cake but the arrival of this beauty has relegated the chocolate delight until tomorrow. Why is this ...
Helwa Tat-Tork – Maltese Nut Fudge
I've made this recipe before and eaten it lots of times. I'll be honest though, I didn't know what it was really called or its origins. When Expedia Travel asked me to take part in their #ExpediaWorldonaplate campaign and feature the ...

I'd love to have photographed this soup in dazzling sunshine with clear bright backdrops but that's not the type of soup it is. Its a stick to your ribs, warm & comforting soup that uses up a whole bag of sprouts - and yes, I've still ...
20 Minute Christmas Marzipan Mince Palmiers
The truth is, it will probably take longer to write up this recipe than it did to make it. I know you are probably looking at the photos, thinking how unpretty they are but they are emergency mince pies, remember. Its how they taste and ...
Red Velvet Truffles
Its been too long since Bake of the Week last posted, I know. I have very good reason though, we spent last weekend in London with Millie with synchro. She received an invitation the previous weekend as a result of her performance at ...
Christmas Confetti Bundt Cake
I used Christmas sprinkles - Basically any strong coloured ones will do. For decoration I went with simple icing sugar made into quite a thick consistency and a squeeze of lemon juice. Extra sprinkles on top finished off the cake ...
